"How can educators use history to help inform students about the treatment of gays and lesbians in the past and today, and how are schools responding to name-calling, bullying, ostracism, and outright violence against this community? In this session, participants will look at examples from history, including the treatment of homosexuals under the Nazi regime and during the civil rights movement."

"Produced by Facing History and Ourselves alumnae Mikaela Beardsley, Reporter is a feature documentary about Nicholas Kristof, the two-time Pulitzer-Prize-winning columnist for the New York Times, who almost singlehandedly put the crisis in Darfur on the world map. The film puts the viewer in Kristof's pocket, revealing the man and his methods, and just how and why real reporting is vital to our democracy, our world-awareness, and our capacity to be a force for good.

The workshop is in two parts. Part 1 (4:30-6:30 pm) will be an educator workshop focused on pedagogy. Part 2 (7:00-9:00 pm) will include the film presentation. A light dinner will be served between the two parts."

From the Facing History and Ourselves website:

"Join us as we explore the history of voting in the United States with a special emphasis on the gains and struggles during the civil rights movement. We will showcase Facing History resources that examine the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the Selma March, voter registration drives, the role of non-violent protest and more. We will also investigate the impact of youth in the movement and their role in politics then and now."

From the Facing History and Ourselves website:

"This film [The Reckoning] chronicles the battle for the establishment of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in response to mass atrocities around the world in the late 20th century. The Reckoning follows ICC Prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo and his team for three years across the four continents as he issues arrest warrants for Lord's Resistance Army leaders in Uganda, puts Congolese warlords on trial, shakes up the Colombian justice system, and charges Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir with genocide in Darfur. This film is an important addition to Facing History's collection of classroom resources that deal with questions of justice after genocide.

The workshop is in two parts. Part 1 (4:30-6:30 pm) will be an educator workshop focused on pedagogy. Part 2 (7:00-9:00 pm) will include the film presentation. A light dinner will be served between the two parts."

From Facing History and Ourselves:

"We invite you to examine Facing History's new resource book on Eleanor Roosevelt and her role in the establishment of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This book is part of Facing History's Making History series, a collection of case studies that illustrate how individuals and groups across the world can choose to make a difference in society, using tools available to anyone seeking to fight hatred, prevent genocide, and strengthen democracy. Civic education, often limited to instruction about the basic foundations of democratic governance, is enriched and deepened through these case studies, which reveal how the structures of civil society can be strengthened by individual action."
